      Only if you join me in it and also let me give you a heartfelt compliment.

      Oh right, we would have to make sure that room has AC, if its in Phoenix.

        That person has not yet allowed it, but I’m interested in what heartfelt compliment you have to offer them.

        I know less about them than I do you (I’ve seen a few of your other posts on lemmy) so I’m genuinely curious. Complimenting strangers is a big part of my life and I’d like to learn from you.

          Hah, I mean, I don’t know them at all lol, my approach would just be to have a bit of chat about how their life has been going recently, and I’d bet I could find some admirable trait or accomplishment.

          Or maybe they just dress particularly well, maybe they have a pleasant voice… possibilities are endless, so long as you keep and open mind and more or less just politely say what you really feel.

          … Its funny, I am quite a cynic at a broad societal level, but actually person to person? Still tend toward naive optimist.
